Can you use chalk paint for interior trim and doors?
I'd be cautious just because a lot of times exterior paint will have additives in it that are not necessarily safe for indoor use.
I've done it for individual areas (but not whole house), no problem. I've also used it for white trim. As with any paint, ventilate properly. I would think it more important when using exterior paint, but I think exterior has more 'bonding' ingredients and also more 'sun fading' blockers.
Check that paint is safe for interior use and strip to bare board so that the water from the previous paint does not cause the exterior coat to blister.
